A Very Buckeye Christmas

BSD - Bumped from the fanposts, here's a special Christmas present from our friend skarocksoi.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through Columbus,

Not a creature was stirring, as knocked cold was Brutus;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that the boosters would all soon be there;

 

The Buckeyes were nestled, all snug in their beds,

While visions of new 'vettes danced in their heads;

And Pryor in his eye black, and Tress in his vest,

Had just settled down for a long winter's rest,

 

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

T sprang from his bed to see what was the matter;

Away to the window he flew like a flash,

As he runs a 4.33 in the 40 yard dash;

Star-divide

The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,

When, what to his wondering eyes should appear,

But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer;

 

With an odd little driver, with tatts so intricate,

He knew in a moment it must be St. Clarett;

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

 

"Now Rainey!  Now Quinn!  Now Little and Austin!

On Bryant!  On Green!  On Posey and Herron!

To the top of the porch!  To the top of the wall!

Now dash away! Dash away!  Dash away all!"

 

So up the the house-top the reindeer all flew,

With a sleigh full of Grey Goose, and St. Clarett too;

Faster than his pro career crashed to the ground,

Down the chimney St. Clarett came with a bound;

 

He was dressed all in Kevlar, from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were all tarnished with prison soot;

A bundle of AK's he had flung on his back,

He looked like a guerilla just opening his pack;

 

His eyes--how they twinkled!  His guns, how scary!

From the vodka his cheeks were as red as a cherry!

A stern little scowl streched across his face,

Probably from the combo of Tazer and Mace;

 

The stump of a blunt he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;

He had a broad face and a little round belly,

That comes with 3 to 5 in a state prison cell-y;

 

He was chubby and plump, that surley Buckeye,

And you'd laugh if you saw him, even though he robbed a guy;

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,

Would fill any man with a feeling of dread;

 

He spoke not a word, but let Terrelle do the talking,

As elite gifts and cash he put in each stocking,

To each little Buckeye he gave something great,

As 9 times out of 10, his gifts dominate;

 

And laying his .45 aside his nose,

And giving a nod, he fell out the window,

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew, like the down of a thistle;

But I heard him exclaim, as he fled from the cops,

"Merry Christmas, Buckeyes!  But dear God, don't get caught!"

Absolutely full of it, I say.

Best Christmas Gift, Ever

Screw the original, my family is reading this Twas a Night from now on!

I get the paper. I go to the bathroom. I take the paper in there and I scan it. I look at it. The first thing I do is look at who died. All right. Second thing I look at are headlines. Something that says, "Paterno is the Greatest," I read it. -JVP

Yanosu

Since 2002, 46 Penn State football players have faced 163 criminal charges, according to an ESPN analysis of Pennsylvania court records and reports. Twenty-seven players have been convicted of or have pleaded guilty to a combined 45 counts.

And Penn state does not have 6 big ten titles in a row (shared or outright).

Wow, really? (sarcasm)

Merry Christmas to you, too, buddy.

Trouble exists everywhere.

It’s merely sanctioned at tOSU.

In addition, the Centre County DA actually prosecutes football (as well as other sport) athletes. The Franklin County DA, however:

Finally, enjoy sharing those titles with teams to which tOSU lost.

tOSU fans never seem to cease to amaze me, even on Christmas. They’re the stupid school equivalent of Penn graduates.

I asked really hard, I promise

But apparently Santa did not bring you that sense of humor. Maybe next year!

the former centre county d.a. went

To Bob Jones university for cripes sake…osu wouldn’t have even had have enough scholarship players to field a team during those years.
Most of the guilty pleas were for things like peeing in the bushes…not for possible violations of Rico statutes (see Mr. Clarett).
In defense of the buckeye players though…I would have sold my 2008 “championship” ring too if I were a buckeye…you know, since it’s pretty ridiculous you had one anyway.

NEVER HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE

Vastly more memorable than Jon Crispin's UCLA career.

But they didn't know about it

so they weren’t punished.

Besides, they’re not perfect persons in the world. They sell gold pants to you, fumble after getting destroyed by Tamba Hali, get burnt in coverage by Brett Brackett, whatever.

To get punished by the NCAA nowadays, especially if you’re at a major school, you have to be monumentally stupid. -ReadingRambler

And how many NCAA sanctions/investigations has PSU football incurred since '02?

Pretty sure O$U gets that Big Ten title all to its self. Hurry and print your t-shirts, jackwagon.

by kijana's acl on Dec 26, 2010 9:47 PM EST up reply actions  

Bumped to the front page? Best Christmas gift ever!

I’m glad to see that it was enjoyed by all. Or almost all. The buckeye fans might not like it so much…

Loved it, skarocksoi!

Thanks and Merry Christmas!
